The former Eurythmics star has been recording with Jagger, soul singer Joss Stone, Bob Marley's son Damian, and Slumdog Millionaire actor A.R. Rahman.

The New York Post reported the star-studded collaboration, dubbed Super Heavy, on Friday (20May11) and Stewart has now spoken out to confirm the news, revealing their two-year "jam session" has spawned 18 tracks which they plan to release as an album.

Stewart tells Beatweek magazine he is disappointed the story leaked, adding: "It's unfortunate. We've kept this quiet for two years. We have 18 songs recorded and mixed. We have all the staff and we're working on cradling this... It was like a huge long jam session that went on for months that then slowly turned into structure."
